Customer collapsed in store customers were stepping over whilst first aiders attended to him

Man fell whilst I was shopping. It was by the condiments. First aiders attended whilst awaiting an ambulance.

I saw customers stepping over the ill man to get to the shelves. Fucking rude and disrespectful. There was a colleague who wasn’t a first aider but was holding onto the man’s hand. She was not best pleased with customers acting like this with her facial expressions. I shared my disgust with her. She said she was able to pass customers what they needed.

How would these customers that stepped over the man liked it if someone stepped over their unwell relative?

I'd understand if someone was shopping for something essential like medicine but otherwise that's poor behaviour. I remember someone taking ill in the biscuit aisle and coming back later because whilst I wanted biscuits I didn't want them enough to be an arsehole.
